The Three Signs Most Likely to Have a Steamy Romance This Taurus Season

Calling all hedonists! Aries season brought the horny energy, but shift to Taurus season (dates: April 19 to May 20) means a change of pace. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love, connection, and pleasure, this slow-and-steady earth sign has stamina to spare.

As this season unfolds, expect your sex and dating life to feel like a slow burn — think f*cking languidly, exploring kinks that tap the five senses, or allowing a casual connection to gradually deepen into something more. For the first time in seven years, the disruptive outer planet Uranus will exit Taurus, which bodes well for stability this season. Mercury, the planet of thinking and communication, will join the fun in Taurus on May 3, empowering you to voice your sensual or romantic desires. In fact, three zodiac signs may have steamy new developments in their romantic life this season: Scorpio, Capricorn, and naturally, Taurus.

The catch? Taurus can get a little too comfy in its comfort zone. Over the next month, you might feel tempted to cancel hookups at the last minute, arbitrarily limit your options on Grindr, or avoid calling things off with a connection that’s clearly run its course. Sex- and dating-wise, you’ll get the most out of this season by keeping an open mind and taking charge of the situation when needed. Here’s what else you can expect, based on your sign.

Aries

Tempted to treat yourself, Aries? You’re right on time for Taurus season, which inevitably brings out your bougie side. That could mean splashing out on some fancy underwear or massage oil for the bedroom, or venturing outside with your Grindr hookup for a post-sex nosh (of the bottom-friendly variety, of course. You can never rule out a second round.) As the month progresses, aim to find a middle ground between indulging and overdoing it.

Taurus

Happy birthday, Taurus! It’s your turn in the cosmic spotlight, which is the perfect excuse to focus on what turns you on. Ask your partner for a massage to set the mood. Embrace your inner bull as you scroll and chat with people on Grindr. Better yet, switch up the Tags on your profile to reflect what you’re looking for. Are you into Edging? Musk? Pits? Making your desires and preferences known will attract the right people to you.

Gemini

You often live in your head, Gemini, but Taurus season is a much-needed reminder to get back into your body. Feeling anxious? Go for a walk with your headphones on, Addison Rae style. Struggling to fully relax during sex? Take the pressure off with solo play or something non-sexual, like Cuddling. Communication is one of your biggest strengths, so let your sexual partner(s) know what’s on your mind. The right connections won’t care if you need to take things slow.

Cancer

For you, Taurus season tends to be a time of year when friendship takes precedence over romance. With the temperatures warming up, you can easily move the fun outdoors. So round up your crew, and post up on the back patio of your go-to gay bar. Can’t be bothered to leave your house? A classic Taurus season dilemma. Invite everybody over for gay guy music video night — or make it clear from your Grindr Tags that you’re looking for Friends and would prefer to Host.

Leo

Top or not, you’re feeling one with your inner lion right now. Tap in by taking control of your sex and dating life. Hit up that hot bear from Grindr (or twink, or otter, or whatever tribe you’re into). Tell your FWB that you’re beginning to catch feelings. And if your responsibilities at the office demand more of your time and energy than you expected this month? It happens. Communicate that so you’re on the same page with your connections.

Virgo

You’re in for a pleasure cruise this season, Virgo, figuratively and maybe even literally. Opportunities to travel could definitely pop up this month. If so, put Grindr’s Roam feature to good use. And if not, you’ll broaden your horizons in other ways. Think connecting with new partners, or indulging in kinky sex that’s a departure from the norm for you. Don’t fall into the trap of overanalyzing what you want. Let your body’s response tell you whether something is a yes or no.

Libra

Forget instant gratification: Taurus season will have you craving intimacy, the kind that builds with time, trust, and yes, getting to know each other’s bodies. So if one-night stands sound utterly unappealing right now? Update your Grindr Tags to indicate that you’re looking for an LTR (or FWB at minimum). You don’t have to bare your heart and soul right away, but you should be honest about what you’re looking for as you forge new connections.

Scorpio

Your love life is in full bloom, Scorpio. Are you partnered? Expect to feel extra obsessed with your S.O. right down to their scent. Your physical connection could get a boost, too — Taurus’ slow, sensual vibe is on par with the passion and emotional depth you crave in relationships. And if you’re single or nonmonogamous? Take your dating life seriously. This could be a standout month for romance, but you won’t be able to sink into the pleasure fully unless you let your defenses down.

Sagittarius

The daily grind got you down, Sag? Add R&R to your to-do list. Yes, your work obligations or health needs might be top of mind, but that’s all the more reason to make time for yourself. Scheduling dates or hookups could be a pleasant counterbalance to any not-so-fun stuff on your agenda this month. A word to the wise: Don’t be shy about asking for a massage or popping an edible before sex. If it helps you relax and unwind, it’s fair game.

Capricorn

Great news, Capricorn: Your libido is thawing with the weather. Whether you’re seeking casual connections, FWB, or an LTR, you can expect more traction on the apps over the next month. The even-better news? Romance could blossom when you least expect it. So stay open, and don’t be shy about leading with your hedonistic side. Even if a passionate connection fizzles out, investing in your happiness and erotic fulfillment is never time wasted.

Aquarius

The comforts of home are more appealing for everyone during Taurus season, but that’s especially true for you, Aquarius. You’ve got two options: Fight it, or commit to being the self-proclaimed Host with the most. It can’t hurt to invest in your space, whether that looks like upgrading your bedding or splurging on a deluxe-sized container of lube. And if hookups have to take a backseat so you can take care of yourself or deal with family stuff? Totally valid. The apps will be there when you’re ready.

Pisces

It’s time to make your desires crystal clear, Pisces. Dirty talk, Edging, Frot… if it gets you going, it’s worth mentioning and potentially adding to your Tags on Grindr. More than that, prioritize checking in with any sexual partner(s) in your life this month. How are you feeling? Where do you see this connection going? Find a block of time when the two of you can catch up without interruption. Show up to the conversation with respect and openness, not stubbornness or judgment, and you’ll receive the same treatment in turn.
